Had a lazy lie in this morning, so I am a bit behind with eating!!!! Just had a yogurt and will catch up with the snack and I will eventually get me lunch about 3pm!!!! Well as they say, better late than never!!!!
Well young Sidney is doing brilliantly, but he was limping abit, but as he came through the back door, he must have jumped off the fence, so that was probably a bit painful for him!!! As for Daisy, she is eating loads better and seems a much happier cat and the biggest bonus is that she no longer smells - bless her, she is such a lovely little cat!!!!
Right, something I have not touched on properly for a while is my mood so here goes!!! I have been in so much pain over the last couple of weeks it has obviously had an adverse affect on the way I feel. I have been struggling for so long and feel like life can't get any worse, then something happens and it does. I have lost all of my positivity and feel like life is just a battle which is too hard to win!!!
Yesterday I went to Manor Pharmacy on Bath Street, in there was a woman asking for help as she was having a panic attack. Well I have never seen such bad treatment of a person - the pharmacist never left he post behind in the pharmacy and just shouted that the woman needed to go to the doctors, I stood witnessing this and said that could they give her a paper bag to help her control her breathing, I was looked at as though I had three heads, next they were telling her to go to the hospital - now this lady was so distressed!!! Eventually she was asked to sit down, again the pharmacist still did not make a move to leave her 'station'. The distressed lady left, I was so incensed that I decided to speak to the pharmacist myself. So when she bought out my prescription, I asked if I could have a word, she said yes and I asked her if she had ever had a panic attack, and she replied no not personally, so then I told her how disgusted I was with her treatment of the lady, she said it was it was not her responsibility. I pointed out to her, that it was her duty of care to check anyone who comes into the pharmacy distressed to check on them and make an informed decision, either to sit the lady down and just reassure her, give her a drink or supply a paper bag or ring the emergency services if she thought she could not handle the situation. I would expect this from any shop that someone was was distressed in, let alone a pharmacy - wouldn't you think this was a safe place to go???? What if she didn't live in the town and she was unable to get to the doctors, and as we know some doctors are no always open.
The point I am trying to make here is that she would not take responsibility for her actions and said it was not her job to do this and in her job she could not leave what she was doing at the drop of a hat to see someone, wtf - she even said that the shop staff could have helped - they went to her for advice - which ended up being total crap, then she said that she had asked the woman to sit down, but this was all through the member of staff asking advice, she never left her 'station'. By the time the lady was asked to sit down, she was so distressed it was unbelievable. I did ask that if someone came in having an epileptic fit or ill through diabetes would she have ignore them too???? She didn't know what to say. I will be reporting this to Manor Pharmacy, but I bet because it was a Mental Health Patient nothing will be said or done.
I am passionate that us Mental Health Patients get the same care and attention that anyone would. I would love to know what you think of this.
